Pace of play

We had a tee time of 12;00 noon. We finished the 6th hole at 2pm, yes 2 hours to play 6 holes! It was wait on every hole sometimes we had 2 groups waiting behind us as we waited on the tee box. Until they marshal this course and keep the players moving I would try somewhere else. It took 5 hours and 15 minutes to finish the round, which I think is about an hour too long. Having to wait at every hole is uncalled for. Have a marshal and give him free golf it is a cheap way to keep folks happy and enjoy the game. We had four groups on a par 5. Nice course but the 8 minute intervals are too close if they are not going to keep folks moving.

Nice challenge for low to mid level golfers

Course was in good condition around the greens and tee boxes, very few bare spots in the fairways. Way too many bunkers! They are also very penalizing due to the unusually high sides whether in the fairways or around the greens. You need to play it a few times to get the feel of how to manage oneself around the course. Best enjoyed by low to low-mid handicappers.

lovely day of golf... but tee times too close together so impacted pace of play

First time at this lovely Troon course which is in very good shape with powerful enough carts.

However, pace of play was very slow, we think due to too short interval between tee times. We started at 1:30pm but after 4.5 hours were waiting again on 16 when it got too cold, dark and windy to play, so we skipped the last two holes.

Hope to come back and play when there is a faster pace of play, so we will ask what the # of minutes is before we book again. We think it was 6 minutes between foursomes when we played and that is not sufficient for a good pace of play.

Great value

Nothing too exotic in design etc, but good track and fun holes with good speed on greens.

Nice track…

First time here! Course was very brown around the edges, and loaded with waste bunkers and traps.

I think it was the designers attempt at sloping the course to a higher number than would be typical of a relatively flat landscape. Fairways and tee boxes were green…..everything else was very brown. I prefer a more lush and green course, but….I know some love the desertscape.

Played the white tees….6100 yds+-. Some of the holes are very long par 4s….and require a 250 drive to make the green in regulation. If that’s not you….play the combo tees, lr green to keep your confidence.

Paid $101.00 for the round incl cart and range balls. Not terrible, but….$65.00-$70.00 would be more appropriate.

Terra Lago North is a very similar feel, more challenging layout, and I pay $68.00?

Enjoy….⛳️

So cold

It was very cold the day we golfed so hard to judge. Also a shotgun start which was a little confusing. I am an older guy and a little too far between washrooms.

Surprise Shotgun

I signed up for a 12:30 tee time and was surprised by a huge line up of golfers surprised by a shotgun start they did not agree to. We got off around 1:15. Course was well kept and very playable. Great shape. Good length.

No drink cart on the course which was disappointing.

Worth playing.
